Merak, Bhutan

Merak (Dzongkha: མེ་རག་, romanized: me rag) is a settlement and the headquarters of an eponymous gewog in the far east of Bhutan.

Merak is part of the Mera-Sakteng subdistrict (dungkhag) in the Trashigang District.

The main activities of these highlanders are raising of the domestic animals.

In 2012 a new road was constructed that shortened the hike to one day.

According to local legend, the surrounding valley is inhabited by Yeti.
